The hog-nosed skunks belong to the genus ''Conepatus'' and are members of the family Mephitidae (skunks). They are native to the Americas. They have white backs and tails and black underparts.〔Skunk. Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6Th Edition (online ). October 2011;:1. Available from: Academic Search Premier, Ipswich, MA. Accessed November 29, 2011.〕 ==Species== * ''Conepatus chinga'' - Molina's hog-nosed skunk * ''Conepatus humboldtii'' - Humboldt's hog-nosed skunk * ''Conepatus leuconotus'' - American hog-nosed skunk *: ''Conepatus leuconotus'' - eastern hog-nosed skunk *: ''Conepatus mesoleucus'' - western hog-nosed skunk * ''Conepatus semistriatus'' - striped hog-nosed skunk Recent work has concluded that the western hog-nosed skunk or common hog-nosed skunk (formerly ''Conepatus mesoleucus'') is the same species as the American hog-nosed skunk, and that ''Conepatus leuconotus'' is the correct name of the merged populations.〔(Western Hog-nosed Skunk )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hog-nosed skunk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
